From: Nishanth Aravamudan Subject: [KJ] [PATCH 23/39] net/svcsock: replace schedule_timeout() with msleep() Use msleep() instead of schedule_timeout() to guarantee the task delays as expected. The code, as is, is not wrong; however I see two reasons to use msleep(): 1) consistency across the kernel; and 2) milliseconds are far more human-comprehensible than jiffies.
